  • K1000 Ultravnc Guide
    K1000 UltraVNC Guide What is Ultra VNC? UltraVNC (sometimes written uVNC) is an open source application for the Microsoft Windows operating system that uses the VNC protocol to control another computer's screen remotely. How it works A VNC system consists of a client, a server , and a communication protocol • The VNC server is the program on the machine that shares its screen. The server passively allows the client to take control of it. • The VNC client (or viewer) is the program that watches, controls, and interacts with the server. The client controls the server. • The VNC protocol (RFB) is very simple, based on one graphic primitive from server to client ("Put a rectangle of pixel data at the specified X,Y position") and event messages from client to server. Example Tutorial UltraVNC in this document: Creating a complete UltraVNC MSI Package for the K1000. - To create a complete MSI package, this tutorial will use a simple third party tool which will collect all your settings your require and bundle it together into a MSI file which can then be deployed from the K1000.

  • Collabkit – a Multi-User Multicast Collaboration System Based on VNC
    Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Institut für Informatik Lehrstuhl für Rechnerorganisation und Kommunikation Diplomarbeit CollabKit – A Multi-User Multicast Collaboration System based on VNC Christian Beier 19. April 2011 Gutachter Prof. Dr. Miroslaw Malek Prof. Dr. Jens-Peter Redlich Betreuer Peter Ibach <[email protected]> Abstract Computer-supported real-time collaboration systems offer functionality to let two or more users work together at the same time, allowing them to jointly create, modify and exchange electronic documents, use applications, and share information location-independently and in real-time. For these reasons, such collaboration systems are often used in professional and academic contexts by teams of knowledge workers located in different places. But also when used as computer-supported learning environments – electronic classrooms – these systems prove useful by offering interactive multi-media teaching possibilities and allowing for location-independent collaborative learning. Commonly, computer-supported real-time collaboration systems are realised using remote desktop technology or are implemented as web applications. However, none of the examined existing commercial and academic solutions were found to support concurrent multi-user interaction in an application-independent manner. When used in low-throughput shared-medium computer networks such as WLANs or cellular networks, most of the investigated systems furthermore do not scale well with an increasing number of users, making them unsuitable for multi-user collaboration of a high number of participants in such environments. For these reasons this work focuses on the design of a collaboration system that supports concurrent multi-user interaction with standard desktop applications and is able to serve a high number of users on low-throughput shared-medium computer networks by making use of multicast data transmission.

Don’t worry though, we’ve done the legwork for you, cataloging and comparing the most popular remote desktop solutions so you can easily pick the right one. https://www.howtogeek.com/257655/remote-desktop-roundup-teamviewer-vs.-splashtop-vs.-windows-rdp/ 1/10 9/29/2020 Remote Desktop Roundup: TeamViewer vs. Splashtop vs. Windows RDP After the recent flurry of news stories regarding TeamViewer and compromised computers (you can read their press release here and our article about properly securing TeamViewer here), there’s been quite a bit of interest in alternative remote desktop programs. Fortunately, there’s practically as many ways to set up a remote desktop session as there are motivations for doing so. RELATED: How to Lock Down TeamViewer for More Secure Remote Access Rather that simply throw a laundry list of remote desktop solutions at you, we’ve opted to group them into two major categories: operating- system-based remote desktop solutions, provided by the same company behind your operating system, and third-party remote desktop clients. Each of these solution categories offers something of value depending on your needs. Let’s take a look at each category now and highlight the benefits, shortcomings, and differences. As we run through the features of the different remote desktop solutions, keep a few important questions in mind.
